Hi girls. I hope you are well as we have started another week and settled back into work routine. I am so pleased that you have found time to visit my blog and I hope you regard it as time well spent when you see what is on offer.
My card today is being entered into the Creative Inspirations challenge where the theme was "Plain and Simple". I used a Hero Arts "Dandelion" stamp and heat embossed the image with lilac embossing powder onto the plain white card - no design papers at all. I also stamped the image on the inside but didn't emboss it there. I cut an aperture with a nestie and used the cut-out for the sentiment which is Stampendous "Footprint Friends". I coloured the lilac background for the sentiment and glued it on the inside of the card to line up with the aperture. I added small butterflies inside and out and couldn't resist puting a small lilac bow at the bottom. I didn't half struggle with this one because I am used to using copious amounts of design papers, flowers and embellies.
I would love to know what you think of this because I am well out of my comfort zone with this simple look. It would be greatly appreciated if you could find time to leave a comment.
I have been given this award for the second time, this time from Denise over at The Crafty Den. I am acknowledging the fact by way of this post. I then have to pass this on to 3-5 bloggers who have less than 3000 followers nd invite them to accept this TAG.I have chosen to pass this on to the following well deserving bloggers:-
